Hormuz Strait Monitor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says: it opens two public shipping websites, records transit metrics locally, and has normal browser-automation dependency risks.

Install only if you are comfortable running Chrome/Selenium automation and allowing webdriver-manager to download ChromeDriver. Expect local CSV history and possible debug files under ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory, and review any future real notification integration before enabling external channels.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill documentation shows operational capabilities to invoke Python, access workspace paths, and write persistent output files, yet no permissions are declared. This creates a transparency and governance gap: a user or platform may authorize or run the skill without realizing it can read local files, write data to persistent storage, and execute shell-level commands, increasing the risk of unintended data exposure or misuse.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The script downloads and executes a ChromeDriver binary at runtime from an external source, which introduces a software supply-chain and unreviewed code-execution path unrelated to the core monitoring logic. In a security-sensitive agent environment, this increases risk because remote binary retrieval can be tampered with, blocked, or yield unexpected versions with elevated execution impact.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill persists collected monitoring data and alert information to a CSV in workspace memory, but the description does not prominently warn users about this retention behavior. While the stored data appears operational rather than highly sensitive, undisclosed persistence can still surprise users, create unnecessary retention, and expose historical monitoring data to other workspace processes or users.
